Adding Videos to iPod classic
You add movies and TV shows to iPod classic much the same way you add songs. You can set iTunes to sync all movies and TV shows to iPod classic automatically when you connect iPod classic, or you can set iTunes to sync only selected playlists. Alternatively, you can manage movies and TV shows manually. Using this option, you can add videos from more than one computer without erasing videos already on iPod classic. Note: Music videos are managed with songs, under the Music tab in iTunes. See Adding Music and Podcasts to iPod classic on page 23.
Important: You can view a rented movie on only one device at a time. So, for example, if you rent a movie from the iTunes Store and add it to iPod classic, you can only view it on iPod classic. If you transfer the movie back to iTunes, you can only watch it there and not on iPod classic. Be aware of the rental expiration date.
Syncing Videos Automatically
By default, iPod classic is set to sync all videos when you connect it to your computer. This is the simplest way to add videos to iPod classic. You just connect iPod classic to your computer, let it add videos and other items automatically, and then disconnect it and go. If you added any videos to iTunes since the last time you connected iPod classic, they are added to iPod classic. If you deleted videos from iTunes, they are removed from iPod classic. You can set iPod classic to sync videos automatically when you connect it to your computer. To sync videos to iPod classic: m Simply connect iPod classic to your computer. If iPod classic is set to sync automatically, the syncing begins.
Important: The first time you connect iPod classic to a different computer and have the automatic sync option set, a message asks if you want to sync songs and videos automatically. If you accept, all songs, videos, and other items are deleted from iPod classic and replaced with the songs, videos, and other items in the iTunes library on that computer. If you dont accept, you can still add videos to iPod classic manually without deleting any of the videos already on iPod classic. iTunes includes a feature to sync purchased items from iPod classic to another computer. For more information, see iTunes Help. While videos are being synced from your computer to iPod classic, the iTunes status window shows progress and the iPod classic icon in the source list flashes red. When the update is done, a message in iTunes says iPod update is complete.

To add contact information manually: 1 Connect iPod classic and open your favorite email or contacts application. You can add contacts using Palm Desktop, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Entourage, and Eudora, among others. 2 Drag contacts from the applications address book to the Contacts folder on iPod classic. In some cases, you might need to export contacts and then drag the exported file or files to the Contacts folder. See the documentation for your email or contacts application. To add appointments and other calendar events manually: 1 Export calendar events from any calendar application that uses the standard iCal format (filenames end in.ics) or vCal format (filenames end in.vcs). 2 Drag the files to the Calendars folder on iPod classic.

Recording Voice Memos

You can record voice memos using the optional Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic or an optional iPod classic-compatible microphone (available for purchase at www.apple.com/ipodstore). You can store voice memos on iPod classic and sync them with your computer. You can set voice memo quality to Low or High. Note: Voice memos cant be longer than two hours. If you record for more than two hours, iPod classic automatically starts a new voice memo to continue your recording.

The Voice Memos item appears in the main menu. 2 To begin recording, choose Voice Memos > Start Recording. 3 Speak while wearing the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic, or hold the microphone a few inches from your mouth and speak. To pause recording, press the Play/Pause button. Choose Resume to continue recording. 4 When you finish, choose Stop and Save. Your saved recording is listed by date and time. To play a recording: m Choose Extras > Voice Memos and select the recording. Note: You wont see a Voice Memos menu item if youve never connected a microphone or the Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic to iPod classic. To sync voice memos with your computer: Voice memos are saved in the Voice Memos application on iPod in the WAV file format. If you enable iPod classic for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them. If iPod classic is set to sync songs automatically (see Syncing Music Automatically on page 24) and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically synced to a playlist in iTunes (and removed from iPod classic) when you connect iPod classic. You see the new Voice Memos playlist in the source list.

If you cant add a song or other item to iPod classic The song may have been encoded in a format that iPod classic doesnt support. The following audio file formats are supported by iPod classic. These include formats for audiobooks and podcasting: AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P, up to 320 Kbps) Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format) MP3 (up to 320 Kbps) MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR) WAV AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4) AIFF A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has full CD-quality sound, but takes up only about half as much space as a song encoded using AIFF or WAV format. The same song encoded in AAC or MP3 format takes up even less space. When you import music from a CD using iTunes, its converted to AAC format by default. Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA files to AAC or MP3 format. This can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format. iPod classic doesnt support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio files, or audible.com format 1. If you have a song in iTunes that isnt supported by iPod classic, you can convert it to a format iPod classic supports. For more information, see iTunes Help.
